♦️ Get your decks ready and try this divination exercise, channeled for you by Kaitlyn

Grab a selenite wand, a hand broom, or other cleansing tool and give your head, your neck, your throat and hands a good cleansing.

Grab your favorite tarot deck (or whichever one is calling to you at the moment), and give it a little cleansing as well.

With your deck in hand, take a few deep breaths in through your nose, out through your mouth, drawing those inhales as far in as you ca, pushing your exhales allll the way out.

Keep taking those big breaths until you feel your body relaxing. Begin shuffling your deck while continuing your deep breathing. You may find that the way you shuffle in this more trance-like state is a little different than your usual shuffle. Don't overthink it, just let it happen.

When you feel the psychic ping, stop shuffling and flip the deck over (so their faces are visible rather than the card backs).

Now, search for the Queen of Wands. Pull them and the card immediately behind them out of the deck and set them on your table.

Next, search for the Queen of Pentacles. Pull them and the card immediately behind them out of the deck and set them on your table.

Search for the Queen of Swords. Pull them and the card immediately behind them out of the deck and set them on your table.

Finally, find the Queen of Cups. Pull them and the card immediately behind them out of the deck and set them on your table.

Okay, ready?

Now that you have your pulls, it's time to divine!

The card following the Queen of Wands is a source of inspiration your spirits are trying to bring to your attention. This particular source of inspiration is not just exciting - it's rooted within you, it is part of your divine purpose. This may be something that inspired you as a child (perhaps still inspires your inner child), perhaps something you've tried before but have never felt fully confident with. This card may also be an affirmation that you are focusing where your spirits call you to look, that you are already in motion on your aligned path.

The card following the Queen of Pentacles tells us how this inspiration can be explored, expanded, awakened in practice. The Queen of P's shows us how our bodies and spirits can work harmoniously in pursuit of your dream, in following what inspires you. Remember that the suggestions which seem "simple" or "practical" at the surface are often modalities that connect us to deeper wisdoms.

The card following the Queen of Swords is how you can speak your desires, your dreams, your inspirations, into existence. What I love about the Queen of Swords is that they understand that their words carry weight that can be measured by the scales of Justice. They are conscious of this as the thoughts pass through their minds and arrive upon their tongues. They also understand that their words always require matching action. They demand your divine authenticity and attention, and ask you to remember the responsibility of your power.

The card following the Queen of Cups is how we give of ourselves as we journey in pursuit of alignment and truth. I will share two truths with you now:

  1. Alignment is not a destination, it's an impermanent state which, through our sincere commitment to The Earth, we access with greater clarity and stay in for longer than we stay out.

  2. We can not enter into alignment entirely alone, at least not always. There will be certain lessons, projects, journeys that will require resources that are beyond what you have within you and immediate access to. Your free will, your Choice, is yours and yours alone. But the road to alignment is never traveled alone.

Just as others will offer their resources to us when we express our needs (advocate for ourselves, to the living, to the spirits), we will be called to share our own resources when others are in need of what we have access to.

The card following the Queen of Cups inspires us to see how we are called to share our resources, our gifts, with our communities. The Queen of Cups also asks us to remember that communities are not only made of up living, breathing human beings and human beings of the spirit realms. Our communities include the plant people, the tree people, the winged people, the four footed people, the soil, the streets, the memories. You can't be of service to all of the community all at once - it's not realistic. But spirits will show you how to be of service now, through this part of the path.

Here's what I pulled for myself:

Queen of Wands, Two of Cups

Much of my inspiration comes from love, partnership, cultivating healthy, constructive, loving, intimate relationships. With my partner, with my children, with my friends. What is it that we need? What is it that will help us grow and rise collectively? This is the source of my inspiration.

Queen of Pentacles, The High Priestess

The High Priestess encourages me to stay in my receptive state, keep tending to the altar, tending to the spirits, tending to the rituals. My intuition is strong and deserves to be trusted. My rituals are potent and channeled and important.

Queen of Swords, Ten of Cups

Speak affirmations of love to your community. Speak to the collective healing you are calling in. Speak the dream of our collective joy and liberation into existence.

This is yes about being well resourced, but also in feeling abundant with spirit. Abundant with love. With compassion. With understanding. Abundance of community care, of sharing.

Queen of Cups, Six of Pentacles

The 6 of pentacles reminds me of my responsibility to this earth. My role as a steward of the land and protector of the water. My call as one who pours back into the Mother of Resources, our Planet Earth, and all the living beings who inhabit her. The pine and the fire also remind of controlled burns. of the seeds within the pinecones that can only open up and spread themselves across the soil when literally lit on fire. Somethings will need to be destroyed for the news seeds to be released and planted.

What about you? What did you pull? How do the cards speak to you?
